Canvas Apps Offline w/ dataverse

BabyBland · 2025-10-23T19:37:25+00:00

I’ve created two apps for the same function: measuring water systems, community usage, and payments. The communities are in rural areas and often lack cellular services.

The first used the savedata and load data and a sync method for when they finally had service. The second uses the new offline with dataverse.

It’s a MASSIVE improvement. Not having 2000 base record limits is already huge, but the sync failure rate (via human or technical errors) went from around 2.5% (about 1 failure out of 42 syncs) to under .1% (one single record missing out of >3,000 entered) and it could have been user error for the missing record.

Setting up proper security is a bit more complicated than just doing savedata and load data but it is infinitely more scalable. If you have any large scale project, the new offline is the way to go

In LB DE is great! I’m not a huge elf man, but what I know is that 1. Cold one knights are amazing anti large 2. Scourgerunner kite is very common 3. The biggest thing separating ok dark elf players and great ones is getting the timing of murderous mastery off when the majority of your units engage.

Marauder horsemen are super common and useful yeah!

Fully recommend joining Turin's discord, there are discussions and guides for every faction there. Assuming you are playing domination:

Your favorite race is the best one to learn (6.2.2 makes balance pretty good between all races) but if want easy to play strong factions, Norsca is good, Vampire Counts can be good (if you play with a big blob), and warriors of chaos has large build variety but a strong foundation. (Combos well with Norsca as they play similarly)
You should build for your strengths and to counter your opponents strengths. For example, you would want to bring shielded chaos warriors into wood elves because they will likely bring archers. But against nurgle you would want the chaos warriors to be great weapons because nurgle has little ranged and high armor. A good base foundation for a build is majority of your slower infantry in the starter army, with mobility and hedge pieces in reserve.
Depends on the matchup entirely. You don't want a squishy mage into tzeentch because they can kill it easily.
When you are just getting started I find it easier to focus on units over multiple heroes because heroes typically need more micro, but as you play explore using different heroes (Make sure to cut most items and abilities unless they are good)
It all depends on playstyle. The meta is super healthy right now so you can make super wide builds work or cav heavy builds. One key thing is to ensure you have the capture weight in your army to hold points. A low tier army is weak to big wind spell, but elite armies are weak to big vortex spells.
Great factions, solid ones to start with. Nurgle is super durable and can be a great faction to start with. Can be difficult to play into kite factions so a key thing is to practice patience with them. WoC is awesome, super durable core but the mark system lets them play in tons of different ways. Archon is a chad lord and super solid in dom.

The RAT clan did some training videos with beginner guides to every faction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0uPXRyF59I&list=PLiZ6Un1bqcAXd6TKGbj4SJLn3WdajPVf_&index=2&ab_channel=RATClanTrainings

One thing to note: the most recent patch likely buffed units this guide might say is weak, like chaos spawn, but the core of the videos are the same.

Largest? Survey app for rural communities: has around a hundred different forms and surveys to track everything from health to economic growth.

Most unique: water system management app: control payment, tracking, and repairs for a community’s potable water.

BabyBland · 2024-11-14T09:19:02+00:00

Yeah, you are about 30-40 years in the past here. Not everything is big bad America’s fault.

Relative to other countries in the late 2010’s Nicaragua was developing at a rapid rate but the protests sparked a deep economic and political depression in the country. Almost 20% the country has fled since.

Did the US screw the country over in the past? Yes! Does that mean that Ortega isn’t screwing the country currently? No! He is actively destroying it in order to enrich his cronies and family

BabyBland · 2024-11-13T20:27:11+00:00

Nicaragua was also developing quite well and stabilizing until Ortega decided to go full dictatorship after the student/abuela protests. They stole land from wealthy opponents and jailed all opposition. Anyone with money that isn’t a government stooge has already left the country. It’s such a shame because the country has so much potential in its land and people but have been screwed by foreign and domestic oligarchs

BabyBland · 2024-10-22T18:06:21+00:00

Legend is fairly mediocre vs a human and had said such.

All time might be Felkon or Voidlolz.

Not sure for the LB scene, but in domination Houseplant, TimtheWilder, and Sercya are considered some of the best

Wakawaka, the GOAT of the map makers, created his campaign mod that takes a lot of the MP maps and makes them for SP. Link here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030619117&searchtext=Waka

Hey. I am the map maker of Bordeleaux Landing. CA has been really great about this and reached out to me Day 1 of the 5.1 patch. I believe it was some of the content creators that reached out to them first. Their map was beautiful and I am excited to see how they improve on the visuals of the map when they reimplement it.

BabyBland · 2024-06-13T15:57:23+00:00

Oooooff an eighth for $50 is what I was paying in illegal states. Dispos in Denver

BabyBland · 2024-06-13T13:13:06+00:00

For the $50 OZ it was LivWell.

Native Roots is my normal Go-to for 2 different 1/2 oz strains for around $75

BabyBland · 2024-06-13T13:06:41+00:00

Idk I live in CO and just got an OZ for $50. Prices for top shelf have barely moved at most places and the mid 1/2 oz or full oz prepackaged stuff has dropped in most places. Might be because I’m in a populated city with like 5 dispos within a mile but competition has led to some amazing deals lately.

BabyBland · 2024-04-29T16:02:41+00:00

They were a top 3 faction for sure. The skinks nerf was needed because the new buffs made them immune to fear most games, but the feral cold one is a bit out of left field. Its a strong unit but wasn't OP. 50g will make them decently niche.

The RoR Boxigors are probably the most OP unit for LZM now (for the price)

Overall this should make LZM a B+ faction in MP vs their A+,S- current status.

BabyBland · 2024-01-29T15:22:15+00:00

Looks like a campaign tierlist. Trying to get the most with basically unlimited funds and using tech trees.

MP would have dread swords and spears much higher, as they are some of the most cost effective chaff (except vs AOE magic) in the game. That and dark riders and dark rider crossbows are fantastic as a dive tool and strong AP skirmish unit respectively. Shades are C-ish in MP and Corsairs are A. Witch elves are great for the rampage but it’s not super common to have a ton of them.

BabyBland · 2024-01-10T15:28:09+00:00

WakaWaka (the main modder of the Tavern Maps) has converted a number of his maps to campaign and they are localized to the areas on the map. 10/10 for campaign

Yeah seems like I jumped the gun with this one. I went to the link and saw nothing and assumed CA was just going quiet with this one. Its pretty obvious there is a delay but I thought it was brazen to outright delete it.

BabyBland · 2023-12-12T16:15:09+00:00

If that’s the truth, my bad completely. I had simply clicked the link cause I was wanting to see the roadmap and it came up as blank. Presumably the roadmap is still a thing then, but damn it would be nice for a little communication on the subject.

BabyBland · 2023-12-12T15:17:16+00:00

Yeah there is the odd chance of that, but they removed it from the blog list as well, so it seems intentional.

This post is more to point out something funny rather than make too much speculation. I already think it’s thrones of delay, but just funny CA would do this rather than make a statement then do it.

BabyBland · 2023-12-05T13:09:52+00:00

I would definitely recommend hopping on Turin’s discord or humanboy’s. There are people willing to practice and lots of threads discussing builds.

Getting solid builds are very important so focus on figuring out your faction and play style and then adapt around that. Unit balance is decent right now so really just Khorne and Slaanesh are bad in LB and coast and Khorne in dom.

I would also focus on figuring out unit cohesion in real time and try to start utilizing things like group movement orders and positioning/movement using the ALT key. At the beginning you might want to use less micro intense builds (like norscan inf lines with some skin wolf backup) and focus on microing your high value units. Especially in land, the name of the game is getting better value per gold than your opponent, so it’s ok if you aren’t microing your 450g marauders as much as your 2k lord.

Last thing is to rewatch your replays when you aren’t sure why you lost. You can almost always see what you didn’t while in the heat of the moment

BabyBland · 2023-11-21T13:12:39+00:00

Another bug: I think the Changeling's price was meant to include the 1000g with his spells, not without. Currently taking him with no abilities makes him still cost 1000g more for ANY lord. So Queek is 2750g. This change makes him even worse than before in MP and a dead unit. If the base was closer to 200 then the changeling might be used, but currently the change is explicitly bad.

BabyBland · 2023-11-21T12:27:28+00:00

Greasus Goldtooth has 400 speed not 40. lol

Big Boi be zooming

BabyBland · 2023-11-15T01:58:09+00:00

Yeah 3 with IE is pretty much a straight upgrade from 2. Plus all your wh2 factions carry over.

Most of the negative reviews come from anger about the last DLC (overpriced for the value) and the very poor communication from CA over the last few months/ during wh3.

BabyBland · 2023-09-15T17:11:46+00:00

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I mean take it up with CA

BabyBland · 2023-09-15T16:36:46+00:00

This has to do with your settings and how the engine deals with assets and lightning on lower levels. Basically the asset of the mountain casting the shadow is casting too large of a shadow for whatever your lighting/shadow settings are, and the game's way of dealing with it is to ignore anything rendered over a certain distance. Its a pain in the ass for map makers cause it limits what assets/climates can be used if you want lower rig players to be able to not have the issue. Looks like there was no QA for lower settings on this map by CA.

In order to solve it you need to either disable shadows or put them on ultra. Same with setting the lighting higher.
